Bride Blogger Update: Flowers

The last time that we heard from Bride Blogger Marybeth, she was working on her wedding plans and was about to come back to D.C. to check off some of the big items. Today, she is back with an update on flowers!

***

Last week our wedding seemed far off and had yet to come together.  Fast forward a few days and it is only 5 months until the big day.  I am finally starting to picture what the day will look like, thanks in part to our flower and décor meeting with Da Vinci Florists over the holidays.

Early on James and I decided we wanted to keep the flowers simple and focus instead on showcasing the amazing view at 101 Constitution.  We both agreed that candles, lighting and smaller centerpieces would create a romantic yet modern and elegant look.

Raggs and the All-Stars

Some of the most fun memoires of your wedding will inevitably take place on the dance floor, and having good music is key.  Scott Ragsdale, of Raggs and the All-Stars, a phenomenal local band, offers up his expertise on what will keep your guests on the dance floor all night.

How long have Raggs and the All-Stars been playing together?

About 20 years.  We started as a small band in the early 90′s playing for dinner and dancing at Herrington Harbor restaurant in southern Anne Arundel county.  The success of that early band set the stage for the weddings and corporate parties we do today.
